THE MiJOR'S WIFE.

Civilians are quito able to understand the
grounds upon which the wives OF army officers give
themselves airs OF social superiority but they arc
keenly alive to the tact. A lady who had been re-
peatedly snubbed by Old school friend who has
married q major, aroused herself to vengeance the
other day At a luncheon party where the subject or
the removal OF civil service officials CHANGED To come
up for discussion. she leaned across the table toward
her trend, and remarked with air OF much solicit
tude:
-" hope these political changes do not affect Major

The Indiana Quarrel.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Jan. 15.-In the
circuit court this morning the argument
was continued in the injunction proceed
ings of Senator Smith against Lieut.. Gov.
Robertson. Judge Turpie's argument oc-
cupied nearly two and a half hours. and
was considered exceedingly able and ex-
haustive. At it conclusion Judge Alexan-
der Ayres said that he would withhold his
decision until Monday morning at 9 o'clock
There was a well filled court room. many
prominent politicians Of each of the parties
being present. Ex-senator Mcdonald was
an attentive listener to the argument of
Mr.. Turpie. The chief point made by Mr..
Turpe was that the constitution only pro-
vided for the election of governor and lieu
tenant governor every four years. and that
in the case of death the offices were filled
by succession; that these four-year terms
were i'll the nature of a reign or dynasty.
and that vacancies could not be
supplied at biennial elections, even though
a governor or lieutenant governor should
die Immediately after induction into office.
He held strongly that there had for this
session been no election of lieutenant gov
ernor. Judge AyreS decision will be fol-
lowed by an immediate appeal to the su-
preme court, and a final ruling NAV be
handed down on Tuesday. but this is not
probable. Present indications are that two
joint conventions will be held. and that the
Democrats will elect Judge Turpie as sena-
tor and the Republicans Gen. Harrison. 1t
is not thought the Democrats of the senate
will unSeat more than one Republican. and
it is probable action IN his case will be de-
ferred until Monday. The senator to be
unseated is W. n. Mcdonald, who is
charged with procuring votes by bribery.

EDUCATION IN THE ARMY.
Some Novel Views On the subject
EXpreSSed by Gen. FRYE.

Expressed by Gen. Frye.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Gen. James B. Frye,
of the regular army, expressed his views
freely this afternoon before the military
service institute on Governors Island. The
subject for discussion was compulsory educa-
tion in the United States army. The views
expressed in his paper caused a sensation
among the large number of prominent people
who attended, and also provoked much criti-
cism. He criticized the public school system,
and said it could hardly be claimed that the
selection of men as law max r! proved the
system had done anything to improve voters
or to purify the franchise. Tweedism, which
amazed people twenty years ago, has grown
with the public schools. Tho schools are
maintained at an enormous cost to prevent
corruption. The speaker characterized
public schools as species OF compulsory
charity. He asked, "Can the defects CT the
system be remedied or should it be
abUlshed?' Then the speaker argued
against the introduction of compul-
sorry education in the army. He held
that general education was not a function OF
the government "AH enterprises belonging
to the individual must fail when assumed by
the state. The conclusion is inevitable, the
system should be abolished" He said that
the fundamental error seemed to be in sup
posing that education, in this city at least, is
Il matter of instruction. 1t belongs to the
individual, not to the government architects
or engineers, Gen. Frye went on to say that
before man could be admitted to the mill
tary service as an officer, he must be exam-
ined in the elementary branches TO prove
that he is capable of special service. He
drew a comparison between the voluntary
service of this country and the forced service
of European countries, and argued that 1t
would be better to force men VINO mad the
rudiments of education into the army than to
accept the enlistment of ignoramuses too
dense to learn. and compel them TO study the
elementary parts of education He advo-
Gated higher pay to private soldiers to secure
q better class of men.
